Greystone rezoning for assisted living approved

The Hoover Planning and Zoning Commission tonight voted to rezone a 35-acre campus of St. Vincent's Health and Wellness center out of the Greystone planned unit development, clearing the way for the company to build an assisted living complex opposed by Greystone developer Daniel Corp.

Daniel Corp. is planning a similar project in nearby Inverness.

The commission voted to rezone the property from NZ, or no zone, to C-2, a commercial classification.

In doing so, the commission backed St. Vincent's claim that the property was never legally zoned into the Greystone development in 1991, and therefore not subject to Greystone's architectural review committee.

The rezoning request will also have to be approved by the Hoover City Council.
